How do you stop the rampaging machine that is the Golden State Warriors? But he cast serious doubts on accomplishing something else even more miraculous. Brandon Bass (13 points), Nick Young (13 points), and Marcelo Huertas (10 points) all scored in double figures.

Hawks: At the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.
When one of the top players is leaving the game, their team makes an effort to honor them. The Lakers are allowing 34.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 42.8 rebounds per game.
The Lakers benefited from an uncharacteristically sloppy Warriors’ team that turned the ball over with regularity.
“We just want to be careful, so two games in quick order, you’ve got to be smart”. “But it’s not very realistic”. It actually hurts the franchise’s chance to keep their 2016 draft pick, which goes to the Philadelphia if it falls outside the top three. Bryant scored 31 points against the Nuggets on December 22 at the Pepsi Center.
Thunder: Durant had five turnovers on Sunday after finishing with 15 overall in his previous two games, including nine in a loss to the Warriors on Thursday.
The Lakers host Golden State on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. The early start would make it tougher for the Lakes’ coaches to assess Clarkson with the lack of morning shootaround. Teams seem to consistently miss shots against the Warriors, who are the fourth-best team in the league in terms of opponent field goal percentage allowed at.435.
“A lot of it has to do with our system and the way we play”, Curry said. “So from that aspect, I think it was a big game”. In a major reversal of fortune, Clarkson and Russell combined to shoot 7-for-13 from 3-point land, while the vaunted Splash Brothers made just one of their 18 triple tries. They sport the top-ranked scoring offense in the league, averaging 115.4 points per game.
The Lakers enter the game with records of 12-51 Straight Up (SU) and 30-33 Against The Spread (ATS). Russell scored 39 points against Brooklyn on Tuesday. I know he didn’t have too many weapons on that team.
“Yeah, I forgot about it and I went up, and I thought about dunking it, and I brought the arm back and the shoulder just kind of caught on me”, Bryant said.
“They’re on a fantastic run”, Bryant said of the Warriors, adding that Curry thanked him for the career he had. He hit a 40-foot shot to beat a first-quarter buzzer against Miami. “My fear is putting him back out there when he’s not a hundred percent”, Scott said.
“He moves so well without the ball”, Bryant said of Curry.

But Sunday’s slip – so unusual in this charmed season – was a reminder just how hard what Curry does on a day-in, day-out basis really is. I’ll leave my stats prediction blank and let him fill it in!
